# README

- `SM_abortion.Rmd`: This file serves as the replication code. It produces Figure 1 (`e1_results_graph.pdf`) and the online appendix (`SM_abortion.pdf`). This code was originally written on a Mac (macOS 11.2) using RStudio (1.3). `SMabortion.bib` is a supporting bibliography file used to create the references in the online appendix. This code also reads in the scripts (`Treatment.pdf` and `Placebo.pdf`) to create the online appendix.
- `abortion_canvass_data.csv`: This is the primary dataset for the experiment. It is read and analyzed in `SM_abortion.Rmd`. A separate codebook describes this dataset.
- `create_bks_data.R` is used for the "Comparison with Broockman, Kalla, and Sekhon (2017)" section of the online appendix. This code downloads the Broockman, Kalla, and Sekhon (2017) dataset (`abortion_anon.dta`) from Dataverse and prepares it for analysis.
- `bks_data.csv` is the prepared Broockman, Kalla, and Sekhon (2017) dataset. For a codebook, see Broockman, Kalla, and Sekhon (2017) at https://dataverse.harvard.edu/file.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/EEP5MT/LPZSVP&version=1.0.
- `weighting_bks_data.do` conducts the analysis in which the current experiment is reweighed to match the Broockman, Kalla, and Sekhon (2017) dataset. These results are reported in the "Comparison with Broockman, Kalla, and Sekhon (2017)" section of the online appendix. This code was written on a Mac (macOS 11.2) using Stata 14.
